I feel it's probably right to drop the 32-bit Ubuntu package, since the 3D acceleration required by Unity is very demanding for a lot of older netbooks/laptops. These tend to have onboard graphics...

Yep, certainly did. Seen it before, too; can't remember where off the top of my head, though.....


Mike. ;)

Bearing in mind that yoshi is no longer using Puppy, I just wanted to point out (for anyone who is interested in dual-booting with Puppy) that, following old_fred's misgivings about using Grub4DOS,...

Hey, poorguy.

This is the only reference I've been able to find with regards to 'vector smash protection'.

Couldn't agree more.

I'm afraid I don't know of too many people who do have that kind of cash sitting around doing nothing. And if I had, it would get spent on other, more important things...

** UPDATE **

I've now swapped the 32 GB Transcend SSD for a 64 GB version. Just wanted more space to play with ( and install another Pup or two!) Still running very, very well.....and transforming...

Hi, SuperTrainStationH.

This is only a suggestion (feel free to ignore it, by all means!).....but why don't you give Puppy Linux a try? It's very lightweight, and designed specifically to breathe...

I'll agree with stalkingwolf; a different distro would, in all likelihood, help. I'll go so far as to recommend one; Puppy Linux. I run it on a machine of similar vintage to your own (2005).....and...

@pjnoxon2:-



Being an enthusiastic Puppy Linux user myself, I think you'll find that Puppy takes up a wee bit more space than 600k! Most modern Pups run out at round about the 190-220 MB...

I find it works perfectly under Chromium. I've even written a tutorial on the Puppy Linux Forums about using the most up-to-date PepperFlash with an older Chromium browser; it's very easy to swap the...

Mm-hm! The 1100's 'big brother', of course. They came with Pentium IV's as standard; but what many people weren't aware of was the 1100's Celeron could be 'upgraded' to a genuine P IV; the CPU's in...

Snap!

I used it for about a year.....then moved on to the Commodore 64; in my opinion, one of the pivotal machines on the market at the very beginning of the 'home computer revolution'. These...

Hi, mikodo.

Nah, you're fine.Stick your nose in all you like..!

To soften the possible impact of what I said above, I agree with you. The vast majority of members do simply enjoy reporting...

Thought I'd throw my two-penn'orth into the ring.

I run Xubuntu 14.04 alongside half-a-dozen Puppies. My old Compaq desktop is 64-bit capable (AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ dual-core), but I choose to...

In fact, I'm staying with it for one major reason; every successive round of updates breaks something else on my hardware. I started using Linux to get away from the constant MS cycle of needing to...

In a word.....nope.

I'll be sticking with Xubuntu 14.04.3 LTS till at least 18.04. As another poster wrote, 'Why fix it if it ain't broke?'

This one's reliable.....and very stable.

Truly, terribly sad. And way too young to leave us.

RIP, Ian. May God be with you.

Hiya, poorguy.

I'll echo Kris_M. Use whatever works for you. I know there's folks on here who seem prone to coming out in a big, nasty rash if Chrome/Chromium are so much as mentioned. If FF works...

Hi, punkboy22.

Just a suggestion; you may find you'd be best running something lightweight like Puppy Linux.....preferably from a flash drive, since Puppy was originally developed to run that way....

Hi, pbpersson.

From your perspective, it sounds as though you'd be better off investigating these mini-PC's that are becoming increasingly popular. I've looked at them myself; many of them utilise...

Well said, shantiq! I may use a laptop alongside my 10-yr old Compaq desktop.....but it's an elderly one, with a decent sized keyboard and screen.

I'm like you; I want to be able to see and feel...

Yeah. I flipped through it, just for a laugh, choosing all the top options that a Windows 'gaming' freak would go for. Approx. $13,500 (or around £8,500 UK).

I find the Logitech T400 ZoneTouch wireless works very well for me:-
